Product Design: Fink by Fletcher Systems

A New Slant

Des­pite it's quite un-Nordic name, Fink is a chair that seems to live up the essence of Scand­inavian mod­ern design prin­ciples. It's sur­feit of style is a dir­ect response to the sim­pli­city of the concept, the choice of mater­i­als and the qual­ity of con­struc­tion. It's a chair that looks well bal­anced and firm on its feet. There's also a Fink stool too (run­ning with the '50s Amer­ican gang­ster lingo you think it might be called 'Stoolie').

The chair's designer, Fletcher Vaughn, says "the object­ive was to design a timber-framed chair with a mod­ern aes­thetic that would have cros­sover appeal for domestic and com­mer­cial envir­on­ments. The mater­ial choices are kept to a min­imum. The frame comes in a choice of Amer­ican white ash tim­ber or Birch ply, with a webbed reboned foam (that's recycled foam) and a fab­ric of your choice."

It's also quite whole­some. The birch ply­wood option is Futura Ply­wood – a hard-wearing mater­ial with a high pres­sure lam­in­ate sur­face. The mater­ial is taint– and odour-free and does not include any chlor­ine derivatives.
